Rauner Continues Search For Buyer of Mitsubishi Plant

Illinois’ Governor wouldn’t say how many prospects there are to possibly buy a manufacturing plant in Bloomington-Normal but said one thing that’s keeping potential buyers away is Illinois poor business climate.

During a stop with the McLean County Chamber of Commerce Governor Bruce Rauner said his administration is looking for a buyer to take over the plant being vacated by Mitsubishi.

However, Rauner said finding one to seal the deal is difficult because of the cost of doing business in Illinois and somethings have to change.

The Governor said his reform agenda addressing workers comp and tort law will help the state grow and create more jobs but Democratic leaders suggest the Governor’s agenda will hurt the middle class and leave injured workers with less in benefits.
